🧩 What About The Ego: Vehicle for Operation or Dream of the Puppeteer? (WA001)
• Length: 03:00 • Date: 2026-02-22
— The ego. Is what exactly? Nothing more than an identity container. A well-developed character in the story of life. That's all. But, like a puppeteer hypnotized by his doll play, we drift asleep and turn into nothing more than our dream suits. How many the roles you've lived as in your past? How many the roles you play in your present life?

🧩 What About Actuality: Witness Beyond Opinions • not Measuring Final Facts (WA002)
• Length: 02:57 • Date: 2026-02-22
— What about actuality? Like an objective reality? Revealed in the full frequency of light and sound — in the final quantum field equations — waking up from the last alien simulation into a final reality? Well that's not at all the point here. We're talking about the removal of your cognitive distortions.

🧩 What About Awakening: From the Inner Dreamscape Into Plain and Simple Reality (WA003)
• Length: 03:00 • Date: 2026-02-25
— What about awakening? Beyond our mystic and romantic ideas — really it's all very simple. At the end of night, you return to the living world and your dreams vanish. But you enter a dreamscape painted with your fears and hopes. Not actuality. Your coat of illusions, this distorting overlay of plain reality, never quite truly aligns. In time the glitches reach a critical mass.

🧩 What About Your Truth: Face the Truth of Your Truth & Trust in Raw Experience (WA004)
• Length: 03:47 • Date: 2026-02-28
— What about "your truth"? Aka the colorful frames you craft to make your existence meaningful. The only truth there is the truth of your subjective schemes. The pushes and pulls of your fears and hopes — the warp and woof of your mental coat. Let the shared field of truth — actuality of what is, insight present in our direct experience — stand and shine as it is.

🧩 What About Delusions: Messiah Validation Complex + Unhinged Pattern Matching (WA005)
• Length: 03:50 • Date: 2026-03-01
— Beyond the basic lack of self-awareness — delusions of grandeur, inferiority, or other flavors of speciality. We have the spectrum of potential delusions that emerge in wake of your "awakening" — your shift into a brave new frame of awareness. You recognize new patterns, make new connections. You crown yourself as the chosen one. Routine reality checks recommended.

🧩 What About Manifestation: How You Create Your Reality • Actually w/o Magic Tales (WA006)
• Length: 03:31 • Date: 2026-03-05
— Affirmations and believing real hard — does that alter your reality, help your dreams come true? Well sure. But not for magical reasons. You are locking your attention into a particular zone. Your fixations are all you ever think of. Should you funnel all of your life and soul into pipe dream ambitions though?
